Re: Copper Culture-Biodynamic farming

I'm firmly convinced that there are multiple levels of science still  
waiting for us to unpick them. Something else I don't believe in is  
homeopathy - yet homeopathy is my medication of choice because it  
works better for me and my family. And the effect may be placebo -  
but in that case placebo effects work on animals and poultry as well.
